A technique that enables scientists to record gene mutations and patterns of gene activity in individual cells has been extended to cover RNA splicing as well, in a study co-led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Cornell Tech researchers deployed “trashbots” in Brooklyn for two weeks in July. The goal of the experiment was to see how people interact with, and make sense of, service robots in public spaces. The cleaning was an added bonus.
A new gene-editing tool created by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators will enable cancer researchers to study the impact of specific genetic changes in preclinical models.
Pregnant women who had a previous COVID-19 infection and received full vaccination and a booster have the strongest immune protection from the disease – and pass that protection along to their unborn babies, according to a new study.
Many medical studies record a patient’s race using only the broad categories from the U.S. Census, which may conceal racial health disparities, a new Cornell-led study reports.
